Telegram gift fees by marketplace
Tonnel's total fee is 0.5%, Getgems and Portals charge 2%, and Fragment lists a 5% platform fee. Inside Telegram, the seller keeps 80% of a Stars price and 90% of a TON price by default. MRKT shows its fee in the app when you list a gift.
Sales on the TON blockchain also pay a small network fee for each transaction.
Telegram's built-in marketplace
Telegram's developer docs describe the payout as a share of the price: the seller receives the price × a commission setting ÷ 1,000. There is one setting for Stars prices and one for TON prices.
The default values are 800 for Stars and 900 for TON. So a 1,000-Star sale pays 800 Stars, and a 100 TON sale pays 90 TON. Telegram can change these settings, so check the payout on the sell screen.
The same rule applies when you accept a buyer's offer for your gift.
Getgems: 2% on Telegram gifts
Getgems' help page, last updated on 10 July 2026, lists a 2% marketplace fee for Telegram Gifts. Its general NFT sale fee is 5%, and Telegram usernames and anonymous numbers are charged 1%.
Getgems can take the gift straight from Telegram, with no wallet export: link your Telegram account in your Getgems profile, then send the gift to @gemsrelayer for 25 Stars.
Fragment: 5% platform fee
Fragment's FAQ lists a 5% platform fee on each sale of a collectible: on direct sales and on the winning bid of an auction. It adds small blockchain fees of about 1 TON that are outside Fragment's control.
To sell on Fragment, first move the gift to a TON wallet with Transfer → Send via Blockchain. The FAQ is written mainly about usernames and numbers, so check the fee on the gift's sale screen before you confirm.
Portals, Tonnel and MRKT
These marketplaces run as apps inside Telegram. Portals has charged a 2% commission since 10 July 2026, and it comes out of the sale price: a 100 TON sale pays the seller 98 TON.
Tonnel's total fee has been 0.5% since 27 September 2026: a 0.25% referral fee and a 0.25% protocol fee. Tonnel's post does not say whether the buyer or the seller pays it. MRKT shows its fee on the listing screen.
Portals takes gifts through its deposit account @GiftsToPortals: you send the gift there with Telegram's transfer. A transfer can cost Stars or be free; Telegram shows the price before you confirm.
Worked example: a 100 TON sale
Here is what a seller receives from the same 100 TON price, before network fees.
- Getgems, 2%: 100 − 2 = 98 TON.
- Portals, 2%: 100 − 2 = 98 TON.
- Fragment, 5%: 100 − 5 = 95 TON.
- Tonnel, 0.5% total fee: the post does not say who pays it, so read the payout on Tonnel's listing screen.
- Telegram with a TON price, default setting 900: 100 × 900 ÷ 1,000 = 90 TON.
- Telegram with a Stars price, default setting 800: 1,000 Stars × 800 ÷ 1,000 = 800 Stars.
- Profit check: bought for 80 TON, sold on Getgems for 100 TON: 98 − 80 = 18 TON before network fees.
Costs besides the seller fee
Some costs appear before or after the sale itself.
- Upgrade: turning a regular gift into a collectible costs Stars, unless the sender prepaid it.
- Transfer: sending a collectible to another account can cost Stars or be free.
- Moving to the blockchain: needs your two-step password and finishes on a Fragment page.
- Converting to Stars: a regular gift can return fewer Stars than it cost, and only for a limited time after you receive it (7 days by default).
- Buying Stars: some regions add local taxes, and payment providers can add their own fees and conversion rates.
Compare payouts, not percents
The lowest fee wins only at the same price. A 2% fee on a 95 TON sale pays 93.1 TON, while a 5% fee on a 100 TON sale pays 95 TON.
Check the floor on each marketplace before you choose. The GiftsWatch Fee Calculator takes one sale price and shows the payout on each marketplace side by side.
